2023 GAFFER & KEY GRIP COMPILATION
This year was full of incredible and memorable projects. I could not include all of them unfortunately, but those presented in the compilation poses strong sentimental value. After wrapping every one of those, I had a reoccurring powerful feeling of love for people around me and the one thing that puts turkey stuffing on my plate and hold a roof above my head - holding a single Astera Tube on an indie music video.
Those are:
Cam Kahin - BIRDS (Gaffer)

@avitia94 DP:
@zzztristan - It was my first work with
@heirmanos and
@upper_casejay love to the homies. We filmed in that frat house near UoT that smelled like cat piss and hate crimes. Lesson learnt on that set: Paper tape can hold a lot and B7Cs are the most annoying bulbs but you have to learn to love them.
AMAAL - THE MIDDLE (Gaffer)

@zzztristan - On this one

Cam Kahin - TRY AGAIN (Gaffer)

@avitia94 DP: Abraham Thodakee - this was my first studio day as a gaffer and it was extremely rewarding to see how it turned out! We also hanged up Cam to the motorized grid and than after wrap I tried it myself and it was jokes! First time working in a real environment with
@nazarshade . ALSO, first time working with my on set boyfriend (grip)
@tarek.pdf . Where he built a JIB (straight out of school btw, legend) which was a start of a beautiful friendship and on set partnership!
Vidusan and Supaveen - Poovaa Vaa (Gaffer)

@arshadm22 DP:
@rayul.vfx - honestly this project deserves its own post. 5 days of the most ambitious music video ever done this year.
@arshadm22 and
@startbadstudios in collaboration with
@mooks.vzn and it was for the books. Long days but the amount of passion on set made it feel like a 1 day shoot. During that shoot I was editing a video for OVO and the amount of stress on that shoot makes you question…
